# Receipt Lens vs XpenseTracker Pro

The clearest difference is ads: XpenseTracker Pro at none against Receipt Lens's shown. XpenseTracker Pro also leads on review sentiment (77% vs 65%). Receipt Lens's advantage is ratings volume (4.3K vs 696). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Receipt Lens sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and XpenseTracker Pro sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Receipt Lens against 4.7 for XpenseTracker Pro. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Receipt Lens has 4.3K ratings behind it against 696, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 65% of Receipt Lens's written reviews are positive against 77% of XpenseTracker Pro's.
